Moving Beyond HODL: ZOOMEX Launches Global “Pizza Week” Campaign Honoring Bitcoin’s First Real-World Trade
May 19, 2026 — On the cusp of the global 16th anniversary of Bitcoin Pizza Day, ZOOMEX, a leading global digital asset exchange, today officially announced the launch of its Pizza Week campaign. This initiative honors the historic milestone of Bitcoin’s first real-world transaction. ZOOMEX’s campaign directly targets the original vision of cryptocurrency. By showcasing its core product matrix—including ZoomCard, ZoomexStocks, and the 0-Cost Trading Competition — the platform aims to drive a comprehensive ecosystem transition for digital assets, shifting them from speculative tools to practical, everyday applications.
On May 22, 2010, a Florida programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz posted a message on the BitcoinTalk forum offering 10,000 Bitcoins for two large pizzas. A British forum user accepted, and the transaction was completed. At the time, those 10,000 BTC were worth roughly $41. At Bitcoin’s all-time high in May 2025, they would have been worth over $1.1 billion.
But the dollar value is not the story ZOOMEX is telling this week.
